Peanut

Lays in my lap
sleeps on my bed
best little buddy
I ever had.
Barks a tune
shares my meals
always follows
right on my heels.
Loves to boat
camper extreme
greets everyone
never mean.
Once a lost soul
found his way here
now happy and healthy
nothing to fear.

Dedicated to my Peanut.  He showed up at my house and tried to get in the fence to join the other big dogs.  He had been attacked with puncture wounds, very long nails, eyes almost shut with fleas and puss and terrible infections. It took the vets 7 days to save him. I am happy there were able to spare his life and he is a really great dog.
